Biography
Abu Abdula was born in Syria to a Sunni Muslim family, and he joined the Islamic State militant group during the Syrian Civil War. He became a sharia judge in the capital of Raqqa, and he was one of the men responsible for non-Muslim affairs, dealing with the Christians. In a Vice News interview in August 2014, he said that on 23 January 2014 a pact was made between Christians and Muslims in which Christians would be allowed to stay in the Islamic State, but under certain rules. They would have to pay the jizya religious tax and still adhere to the same laws as Muslims; most of the Christians in lands controlled by the Islamic State fled to other areas to avoid persecution.
